More about this scene
Some things never change: in a rather dull street of 19th- and early 20th-century buildings, on a Midland Red bus route, the Council is digging up the pavement! One oil lamp is their contribution to night time pedestrian safety. The village grew up in the Leicestershire coalfields, along with its neighbours Coalville, Ellistown and Bagworth. The discovery of a suitable brick-making clay in 1830 led to the opening of a second industry, which continues today.
